Words: Rachel Mantock

When I first visited the new Bone Daddies Old Street, it was a push to even get in the door, they were wildly busy on their opening night and have been ever since. Once seated inside their bohemian and dark setting, their team were quick and attentive, despite being at full capacity. I ordered the most gluttonous options on their starter menu straight away, Korean fried chicken wings, spicy pig bones in sweet chilli flavour, topped off with a huge bowl of edamame (of course). Soon after I’d washed all my starters down with a frozen zuzu margarita, a steaming bowl of vegetable mushroom ramen appeared, filled with tofu , garlic and thyme, along with the classic half egg.

Bone Daddies are known for their huge ramen dishes

Each course arrived promptly, even as guests kept rushing in and out. Though the faces sat at each table kept changing, it was as if there wasn’t one table empty the entire evening. Running a tight ship, the team at Bone Daddies Old Street are wizardly, getting everything done at super speed, buzzing around the restaurant like meticulous bees with huge, genuine smiles on their faces, always business as usual despite the crazy amount of people they get through the door each day.
